More quotes by Macklemore
For me, being transparent about every aspect of my life is what makes my music relatable and how I'm able to be an individual amongst the mass amounts of other artists.
Macklemore
Michael Jordan was a cultural icon that everybody on the playground wanted to be. The Bulls dynasty was a huge part of my childhood and it was the peak of my basketball interest as a kid.
Macklemore
I'm a very conceptual writer.
Macklemore
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
Macklemore
We become so numb to what we're saying.
Macklemore
I'm someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song.

I grew up in the spoken-word community. Before everybody had a home studio, or before we could get booked for shows, open mics were the only way to be heard by other people. It really gave me a chance to develop as a performer. Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.
Macklemore
I want to be someone who is respected and not just in terms of my music. I want to be respected in terms of the way that I treat people... Music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me what has importance, what has a value. And I wanna be respected for that.
Macklemore
I buy whatever I see, but I tend to not spend money just to spend it.

Macklemore
You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
Macklemore
Human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on! And be yourself!
Macklemore
Bullying is a national epidemic.
Macklemore
The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.
Macklemore
A life lived for art, is never a life wasted.
Macklemore
I think that civil rights issues take a lot of time to develop.
Macklemore
I put myself in the place of the listener when editing my writing. The last thing that I want to do is be preached at and told who to be or what to think when listening to an artist. However, I do want to be inspired. There's a fine line.
Macklemore
We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
Macklemore
It's been so long since I've really truly felt what it's like to live life without substances to help. Massive struggle that's natural to one's health, but with addiction in my blood I play the cards I was dealt.
Macklemore
My hope is that my personal testimony can help in some way to not only advance the dialogue and approve Referendum 74, but also to help shape a culture of belonging in which ALL people are equal.
